DALLAS, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — During its annual fundraising event, the Give A Little Campaign, ACE Cash Express (ACE), a Populus Financial Group, Inc. brand, raised $9,871 for Vogel. Since 1987, Vogel has been dedicated to helping children and their families prevent and overcome the traumatic effects of homelessness and poverty. Vogel provides early childhood education, health services, mental and behavioral health care, and family support at three locations in Dallas, Texas.

This year, ACE’s donation provided support for Vogel’s Bridge to Hope program, which is a two-year initiative that works with parents to build stability plans, help secure housing, and provide early childhood education for their children. Every child deserves the chance to grow, learn, and imagine a brighter future. For children experiencing homelessness, daily instability can interfere with healthy development long before they enter a classroom.

“Vogel is deeply grateful to Populus Financial Group for investing in the children and families we serve,” said Karen Hughes, President and CEO, Vogel. “Their generosity helps create a bridge to hope for families experiencing homelessness and poverty, providing children with the support, stability, and opportunities they need to thrive. Partnerships like this remind us that when our community comes together, we can create meaningful and lasting change for North Texas families.”

ACE employees also brought extra excitement to Vogel’s Main Campus by hosting a splash day filled with water play, laughter, and memorable moments for the children.

“ACE is proud to support Vogel’s Bridge to Hope program and its mission to help children and families experiencing homelessness build a more stable future,” said Sally Aiello, Vice President of Government Relations at Populus. “Through the generosity of our employees and customers, we are honored to contribute to resources that provide care, education, and hope for families in the Dallas community.”

Nationally, the 2026 Give A Little Campaign raised more than $160,000 for charities across the country, including AdoptAClassroom.org, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, Autism Speaks, and Vogel. This fundraiser is part of the ACE Community Fund, ACE’s charitable-giving program, which has donated more than $21 million since its inception in 2004 to organizations in communities where ACE operates.
